New Arrival - Red Angus

Much excitement around the farm today!  We got our delivery of Red Angus heifers.  Over the past 2 weeks, the farm has been a flurry of activity getting everything prepped.  The farm was at one time a dairy farm.  There was an old corral overgrown with cherry trees and rotten wood fences.

Two weeks ago, we started clearing out this area.  We pulled lots of nails and cut out lots of branches and cut down several trees.  We debated building a permanent corral or putting up temporary panels.  After much discussion, we decided to build a permanent corral.  

Our new friend Shane, got to work right away...we are so very thankful to him, his father and brother.  They worked nonstop to get the corral built even in unbearable heat and torrential downpours.   Here is the finished product...

This morning, we got our delivery of Red Angus heifers.

It is getting real around here! :-)
